<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-size:large; font-weight:600;">Telephone Number</span> </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">This property specifies the canonical number string for a telephone number for telephony communication with the vCard object. The value of this property is specified in a canonical form in order to specify an unambiguous representation of the globally unique telephony endpoint. This property is based on the X.520 Telephone Number attribute. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">The canonical form cannot be dialed without first being transformed by a dialing algorithm. The dialing algorithm combines the canonical number string with knowledge of the local dialing procedures, in effect at the time of call placement to produce actual dialing instructions. The actual dialing algorithm is outside the scope of this specification. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Two important canonical forms allowed by this specification are: </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-     Apple Computer's Representation of a Canonical Static DeviceID in <span style=" font-style:italic;">The Telephony Suite</span>, version 1.0, </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-     Microsoft TAPI in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 <span style=" font-style:italic;">Telephony Programmer's Guide</span>, version 1.0. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Software which creates this property can store a string in these allowed formats. Dialing software should be prepared to parse numbers from either of the supported formats; as neither format is considered to be technically costly to support. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">This property is identified by the property name <span style=" font-weight:600;">TEL</span>. An example of this property follows: </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">TEL;PREF;WORK;MSG;FAX:+1-800-555-1234 </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Support for this property is optional for vCard Writers conforming to this specification. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-size:medium; font-weight:600;">Telephone Type</span> </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">This property parameter specifies the sub-type of telephone that is associated with the telephone number (e.g., Home, Work, Cellular, Facsimile, Video, Modem, Message Service, or Preferred). One or more sub-type values can be specified for a given telephone number. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">The property parameter can have one or more of the following values: </p>
